Bill Belichick could make New York Giants head coach decision thanks to family links
Six-time Super Bowl champion head coach Bill Belichick has been linked with a surprise return to the New York Giants after missing out on the Atlanta Falcons vacancy
Former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick could find himself returning to the New York Giants thanks to his relationship with the owners, it has been claimed.
After 24 seasons, Belichick left the Patriots at the end of a challenging 2023 campaign. Despite this, he’s ultimately remembered for transforming the Patriots into a six-time Super Bowl-winning team alongside quarterback Tom Brady and owner Rob Kraft.
When Brady moved to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020, the Patriots began to struggle. After a disappointing 4-13 finish, Belichick stepped down as head coach and general manager. The Atlanta Falcons strongly considered him for their head coach role but ultimately chose Raheem Morris, the Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator.

As a result, the chances of coaching legend Belichick landing another top job are shrinking. If a team finds their 2024 season below par, they may turn to him for help. As ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on ‘Get Up’: “That question is going to hang out all season long because right now there is no indication that Bill Belichick is going to land one of these (current) head coaching jobs.”
Former New York Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum speculated about Belichick’s potential availability in 2025 and tied him to the Giants. The coach has previously worked as a defensive coordinator for the NFC East franchise and has strong ties with them.
